President and chief executive Ellen Bettridge said: “At Uniworld, our focus is always on creating travel experiences that feel intentional and immersive.

 

“By pairing our boutique river cruises with some of Luxury Gold’s most popular land itineraries, we’re offering our guests a more expansive way to explore Europe – one that feels seamless and never asks them to compromise on service, comfort or ease.” 

 

Managing director for UK and Europe Chris Townson added: “This new collection of luxury cruise and tour itineraries is a really welcome addition to the Uniworld portfolio – great news for agents and guests alike.

 

“We have seen a 65% year-on-year increase in bookings for our Spectacular Journeys of the World series, which combines cruise with land and sometimes rail in India, South America, South East Asia and Egypt. 

 

“Now we’ve hand-selected some of Luxury Gold’s most engaging itineraries in Europe which marry perfectly with our Uniworld sailings, meaning guests can experience the best of the best of Europe, in style, on both land and river.”
